Issue:
can’t mount nfs file in version 3. the Picazzo DMB-T set-top box network files system for recording only entertain NFS instead of Windows CIFS, but the worst is that only support old version 3 of nfs.
Solution:
- in server size, type
rpcinfo -p
- to see if nfs is there AND note if the version stated is “4” or “3 and 4”, if v3 is not enabled, try to edit on server side:
/etc/sysconfig/nfs
- comment out the line:
RPCNFSDARGS=”-N 2 -N 3 -U”
because this line states that v2 and v3 args will be filtered to start nfs service.
- then restart nfs:
service nfs restart
Tricks:
it’s easy to overlook the ver. of nfs started from “rpcinfo -p” fooling yourself that nfs started healthy. but when u mount the nfs from client, an error appear:
mount.nfs: mount to NFS server ‘:/nfs_share’ failed: RPC Error: Program not registered
Config:
NFS Server: CentOS 5.4
